Coopting Change toward Industrial Democracy
This paper asks why the democratic election of leaders, which is so fundamental an institution in much of Western society, is held sacred in the political sector of social life but rejected in the economic one. We propose that democracy stops at the factory gates partly because of the practices and ideologies of practice of the professionals who construct and maintain the boundaries between the workplace and the larger political sphere. Specifica…
Resistance and Cooperation
Research literature on job performance from both management oriented and industrial relations/sociology of work models is synthesized to produce a more comprehensive understanding of how supervisors manage employee performance problems. Two assumptions are derived from the synthesis: (1) employees are active in accepting and resisting definitions of performance issues made by supervisor; (2) informal interactions regarding the interpretation of p…
Tradeoffs among Expressions of Industrial Conflict
This examination of industrial conflict in over 9,000 bargaining units in Ontario, Canada, in 1988 yields robust cross-sectional evidence of a trade-off between legal strike bans and forms of industrial conflict other than strikes. Within Ontario's health care and provincial government services sectors, the incidence of grievance arbitrations, especially those concerning economic issues, was significantly higher where striking was prohibited than…

Worker Representation on Boards of Directors
The study examines worker representation on boards of directors as a form of employee participation in organizational decision-making in 14 U.S. firms in the early 1980s. The authors develop a model of worker director role definitions and role performance to explain how opposition by managers and conventional board directors to labor advocacy on the board can make worker directorships ineffective labor voice mechanisms when other structures of pa…

Informal Networks and Organizational Crises
This paper argues that organizations with a particular social network structure are more effective than most organizations in responding to crises. Further, it is argued that the effective structure does not occur naturally, but must be designed consciously and carefully. A theory is developed based on well-founded principles of social science, most notably work on formal structure, conflict, friendships, and organizational crises. The paper conc…

Employee Ownership Plans
Participation by Representation
Indirect worker participation in corporate policy decisions is occurring through worker and union representation on boards of directors and supervisory boards in Europe, Australia, and the United States. Evidence suggests that this form of representation is problematic because of the structure of corporate boards, selection and training of worker directors, dual loyalty-role conflict problems, confidentiality constraints, and communication with c…
Sharing Ownership in the Workplace
A Yo-Yo Model of Cooperation
The authors hypothesize that union leaders who enter into union-management cooperative programs alternate between cooperative and adversarial behavior: they agree to cooperate in order to avert corporate ruin or obtain benefits, but revert to their adversarial view of labor-management relations when cooperation incurs costs to the union or threatens their control of union members. Analysis of union-management collaboration at the Rath Packing Com…

Professional Socialization and Attitudes Toward Collective Bargaining
This study examines the basis of hostility toward collective bargaining by professionals as attitudes develop during professional training. Comparisons are made among law students in different class years within a school. Data on the relationship between background, motivation to enter law, careerplans, stage of legal training, and attitudes toward bargaining show that hostility toward professional collective bargaining increases with training. B…
The External Control of Organizations
The Social Organization of Strikes
area guaranteed to fascinate and challenge any sociologist. Mining and Social Change is part of the outcome of that irresistible fascination and it is a go<)d book. Nonetheless for someone who knows County Durham it is bound to be a slightly disappointing book because there is so much else to be said. But, of course, one cannot report research that has not been done. Research on family and kinship is missing, and one can hardly make sense of the …
Organization Theory
Buying Your Job
Until recently, North American producers' cooperatives (employee-owned firms) have received scant attention relative to their more numerous European counterparts. While the existing literature on this subject has covered historical description as well as the critical issues of the emergence, political basis, operation, and success of producers' cooperatives, there is considerable disagreement on the circumstances under which some form of worker o…

Sex Roles and Internal Labor Market Structures
After drawing a distinction between internal and external labor market analysis, patterns in the sex structure of employment markets in nursing, social work, librarianship, and school teaching are examined. Findings indicate that the relative number of men employed in these “female” fields has increased and that males are disproportionately represented in the administrative components of the “female” semi-professions. The role which internal labo…
